I found this sonnet by Charlotte Turner Smith

TO THE NORTH STAR.
TO thy bright beams I turn my swimming eyes,
Fair, favourite planet, which in happier days
Saw my young hopes, ah, faithless hopes!--arise,
And on my passion shed propitious rays.
Now nightly wandering 'mid the tempests drear
That howl the woods and rocky steeps among,
I love to see thy sudden light appear
Through the swift clouds--driven by the wind along:
Or in the turbid water, rude and dark,
O'er whose wild stream the gust of Winter raves,
Thy trembling light with pleasure still I mark,
Gleam in faint radiance on the foaming waves!
So o'er my soul short rays of reason fly,
Then fade:--and leave me to despair and die.

The Northern Star

Alone in a world
Of majestic wonder,
She sits in darkness
And begins to ponder.

How long can one’s solace
Possibly last,
If the heart is forever
Lost in the past?

Up in the sky
Always burning bright,
In the velvet black
Of the clearest night.

She shines with an aura
To bright to compete,
Many stars try
But none can complete.

In an ocean so vast
It is easy to sink,
To stay ahead of the rest
You must learn how to think.

The silent night has come
But sleepless she’ll remain,
Until the end has come
To ease all of her pain.

By Beautiful Disaster
I hope this is right.

Only Poem of that title was written by Aaron Hill but I did not search long so maybe other poems. See link below and see if that helps.

About the year 1718 he wrote a poem called the Northern-Star, upon the actions of the Czar Peter the Great; and several years after he was complimented with a gold medal from the empress Catherine (according to the Czar's desire before his death) and was to have wrote his life, from papers which were to be sent him of the Czar's: But the death of the Czarina, quickly after, prevented it

I've been searching here, but where did you read it? What is it for? Any context to put it in would be helpful. It sounds slightly familiar which is why I ask...
